Senior Rust Engineer · over 10 years building backends
I'm a senior Rust engineer — that's where I'm strongest. Right now I build the pricing platform at G2A, where tens of thousands of requests a minute is a quiet afternoon. I care about performance, memory-safe concurrency, clean architecture and systems still easy to change a year later. Most of my decade sits close to the hard parts: messaging, caching, data flow and the seams between services. Comfortable in Go and Node too, but Rust is home.
The music isn't a separate life — my M.Sc. used TensorFlow to detect instruments in recordings and my engineering thesis was a virtual guitar amplifier. The two halves have always talked to each other. I'm open to select freelance / consulting work.

virya.music — band site & merch shop
Designed and built the new Virya site end to end, including its merch store — nodemailer-backed contact, fast and clean. The kind of small product I enjoy owning from the ground up.
Stack I reach for
Selected impact
- ProductionPlayed a major part in rewriting the pricing engine and bringing it to production — a more stable, faster and easier-to-extend foundation that later work builds on.
- RevenueDesigned and delivered most of the work around the fees management panel, now a fee-generating component and one of the platform’s meaningful business pieces.
- ~2× lower latencyRolled out Redis 8 across critical paths: roughly halved Redis latency, ~20% faster price updates and noticeably steadier overall stability. Read the write-up →
- ~20% faster messagingRe-architected inter-service communication around RabbitMQ pub/sub — simpler data flow, higher reliability and faster updates and nightly jobs. Read the write-up →
- ~2× fasterOptimised the price-simulation path from ~60–70 ms down to ~15–30 ms, and cut ~20k requests/min from source services by reshaping how simulation talks to them.
- Cost savingsIdentified and shipped corrections that significantly reduced operational costs, directly improving the company’s financial result.
